At 280 calories per serving and more than 10 grams of protein, this vegan soba noodle dish will allow for seconds if the first round doesn’t fill you up. With a little spice and a lot of vegetables — thanks to sautéed broccoli, mushrooms and carrots — this dish will cure those winter blues. The recipe comes together easily and is also flexible. Don’t have mushrooms on hand? Stir in some peppers, onion or snap peas. Plus, it tastes even better as leftovers, so pack yourself a tasty, yet healthy, lunch.

Over medium heat in large skillet, heat vegetable oil for about 30 seconds until rippling. Add broccoli and stir for 4 to 5 minutes, until just tender. Add mushrooms and stir for 2 to 3 minutes until mushrooms are soft. Remove from heat and let cool.

Stir peanut sauce over noodles and add matchstick carrots and then stir in the broccoli and mushroom mixture.

Place peanuts in a small Ziploc bag and crush using rolling pin or hands, until broken into pieces.
